I have an iPad to aid my vision and my awkward fingers. If I wanted a SMALL KEYBOARD FLOATING around, I would just stick with small iPhones. This “writing tool” is a major pain and a major step BACKWARDS.
How can I make it disappear and return to the old half screen mode?

Have you enabled the Scribble feature? This feature uses a different mini-keyboard that does not respond to the two-finger zoom or pinch gestures:
Settings > Apple Pencil > Scribble - set to OFF
Otherwise, to restore the new Floating Keyboard to the normal on-screen keyboard presentation, use the two-finger “zoom” gesture (i.e., the reverse of the two-finger “pinch”).
If the Split Keyboard is restored instead of the full on-screen keyboard, you can either use two fingers (one on each of the two half-keyboards) and swipe the two halves together - or touch-and-hold the “keyboard” key, then slide your finger to the Merge & Dock option and release.
